Obvious.

Obvious.

• A. Dust Bowl
• B. Merchant
• C. Fatigue
• D. Blatant

Answer: (D)

When a word means clearly noticeable or impossible to miss, the right choice should convey strong, open conspicuousness. Blatant fits that sense because it describes something that is obvious in a glaring, unmistakable way, often with a sense of being over the top or purposely obvious. Dust Bowl refers to a historical event, not a quality of being noticeable. A merchant is someone who trades goods, not a descriptor of obviousness. Fatigue means tiredness or weariness, which doesn’t capture the idea of something being obviously evident. So the best match for “obvious” in this set is blatant.
